No public or private office tenure should be for life otherwise complacency will set in. There should be a fixed time frame for each office; say three to five years at most. The possibility of renewal should be based solely on the perfomance during the tenure of the officeholder. Performance, in turn should be judged by an independent body and based on previously set and clearlt-stated milestones and/or set financial targets and/or set performance standards and/or set ethical standards and/or set professional standards. There should also be a written "code of conduct" for trustees and any departure from the code would trigger immediate expulsion of the offending trustee.

Not atall. Like all other Board of Directors and Officers,<br>each term should be for 2 yrs. at the most and then they have to run for election again.
